I got nothing much left that I know anything about so I will take Born in China, because it's at least going to be released and should earn 10 million before May, which is better than nothing.

Annihilation is a nice one to end the draft with, W. And Manchester by the sea should be a major awards player so who knows, if Amazon plays it well.
Soooo, last pick of the draft !! Always a special and carefully chosen film. I hesitated between 4 films... but I'll bet on Amblin again, and go with Thank you for your service.

Hm, hadn't heard of Thank You For Your Service. But could do well in Oscar season with a mainstream cast, though I wonder how much of it would focus of PTSD. That seems to be something most Americans would like to ignore...

It's from the writer of American Sniper, so given how he treated PTSD in that movie, it will probably a severely sugar coated look at the effect it has on soldiers.

Wow, you guys are almost done!

Who wants to create the Waiver Wire for when the final pick is made? Six?

I will try to do something for Division B when it's finished (I haven't been tracking what hasn't been picked in A), though I only have until Thursday before I'm off. Through Chien, Surf, Boosh and myself we'll come up with something

I think our waiver wire should be run by someone in A, just to avoid confusion and one person doing double the work, keeping up with pickups and adds. So if Surfer or Chien want to, they'll get my vote.

Thank You for Your Service stars Miles Teller and Amy Schumer. So expect it to be the bro-iest movie about the post-war experience ever made.

By my count, there are eleven films left that are untaken that are listed in BOLD on BOM's list. They all suck, but ... just saying.

This includes several "Untitled" films and one "SPA TBA", wtf that is.

The SPA TBA was pulled from the schedule long ago (I think it might have been Popeye, which is now on hold due to Hotel Transylvania 3) and replaced with The Magnificent Seven.
